To monitor the DHCP scope usage of Windows Server by the MIB in ZABBIX.
DHCP is used in many enterprise LAN, therefore, if there are no remaining of IP address, PC cannot be set address and it is a fatal service impact.
A problem does not occur if strictly manage the connection terminal, but there is also such as the use of wireless LAN, there is a limit to the management.
Therefore, by monitoring the usage of the DHCP scope, we plan to look forward to the subnet extension. And, the recovery of excess it becomes possible to reverse.

DHCP MIB
MIB OID of DHCP are defined as follows. Here describes the DHCP MIB of Windows Server, which has been widely used.
Type | MIB OID |
---|---|
dhcpScope | 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2 |
scopeTable | 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1 |
scopeTableEntry | 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1 |
subnetAdd | 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.1 |
noAddInUse (Used IPs) | 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.2 |
noAddFree (Available IPs) | 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.3 |
noPendingOffers | 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.4 |
The combination of these, can be visualized the usage of DHCP scope.

ZABBIX Discovery settings
Important function of the use of ZABBIX, Discovery. It is possible to create an item and graph automatically in DHCP scope.
At the time of item set, the key and the item name without forgetting the #SNMPVALUE (or #SNMPINDEX). 'SNMPVALUE of subnetAdd' = 'SNMPINDX of other items', the possible either. If you forget this item can not be obtained in duplicate.

Graph I think is easy to see to create stacked.
Green the noAddInUse, the noAddFree blue, the noPendingOffers in red. In such a graph.
noPendingOffers might be unnecessary.

Defect information
In WindowsServer2008, with a look at the DHCP payout situation and the Server Manager that can be acquired in the MIB, there is that there is a difference.Basically, but I practical usage in the latest numeric of the Server Manager, or less than the actual or often paid out when viewed in the SNMP MIB, it seems to take a few hours to reflect. MIB of information would not be updated successfully.
Conclusion
The SNMP MIB, in ZABBIX, it is possible to monitor and visualize the usage of the DHCP scope. This allows the scope extended planned.
DHCP Server of Windows Server 2008 R2, supports DHCP activity logging, that is it allows DHCP Administrators to monitor the configuration changes of the DHCP Servers.
Therefore the events pertaining to DHCP activity logging, will be logged with additional information like: Date and time of event occurrence, IP Address and host name of the DHCP Server on which the event occurred and user name of the administrator who made the change.
These events can be seen in the following location in eventviewer:
Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > DHCP Server > Microsoft-Windows-DHCP Server Events/Operational
Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > DHCP Server > Microsoft-Windows-DHCP Server Events/Operational
DHCP Administrators would use this feature for network security / IT compliance auditing purposes.
